New to saltwater

I have kept a 29 gal FW tank for a little over a year and want to convert it to SW FOWLR and then eventually to a reef tank. After extensive research and reading all of the great advice in this forum I believe I have come up with the proper set up. I am posting this to get feedback on my plan before I begin purchasing the equipment needed to begin the project.

• 29 gal tank

o 1-Koralis 425 GPH power head

o 1- Flu val 70 HOB filter

o 1- 2800 lumen led light (day and actinic modes)

o 30 lbs of live rock

o 2” live sand depth



• Stock I would like to keep

o 2- ocellaris clowns

o 1- banggai cardinal

o 1- stripped wrasse

o 1- emerald crab

o 1- banded shrimp

o 2 -snails



• 10 gal sump(might be able to step up to a 15 gal once I see how the skimmer will fit)

o Eheim compact 3000 submersible pump 793 GPH

o Reef Octopus BH 1000 skimmer (hang on sump).

o 800 gph internal over flow box

o 100 watt heater



• Piping

o I plan to drill 3 holes in the side of my tank to accommodate the following

o Herbie overflow 1” pipe size

o ¾” pump return line
